‘Twas a glorious day in 91’…. Post-game, I took the long way, through East Lansing, as I headed to the west side that afternoon. The somber & stunned expressions on the faces of those Sparties will live in my memory forever :) …. CMU 87’ here :)

Yes. I have more to say, to (unsuccessfully) try to convince others of my viewpoint. But, basically, yes.

The IU game has always…

The IU game has always reminded me of my dad. My dad was most definitely a big Michigan fan, but his style of fandom is what I call ‘quiet intensity’. No outbursts. Just a big smile after a Michigan victory…. I was 13 back then, & was in the midst of becoming a huge, lifelong Michigan fan. I was quite frustrated that day. The game was not televised, & the WJR radio broadcast was strangely weak. This meant the only place I could get good reception on my hand-held radio was while walking in circles in our back yard. So there I was, cold, frustrated, & upset because my team was mere moments from suffering a tie (!) with IU…. Suddenly my dad appeared at my side out there in the back yard. Hearing the faint, scratchy voice coming from my radio, he asked “what’s the situation”? So I explained the sad news…. At that moment the radio reception cleared, & we both listened as Bob Ufer described that final play…. I stared at that radio in disbelief! Then, I looked over at my dad, and he was looking at me with joy, & tears, in his blue eyes…. It’s a moment we had, just me & him. And we both spoke of it only a few times in the passing years…. Dad unexpectedly passed away on Oct 5th. I miss him.

Very good analysis of the numbers. The numbers mean nothing in this game though.

He is pretty good, unless he’s calling a Michigan game. He simply dislikes Michigan & he can’t hide it, at all.

I was at that game, sitting…

I was at that game, sitting very close to the man that ended up with that baseball. I was close enough to overhear a lot of what was said by the Tiger's representatives, and also some of what the man said, though he was very soft-spoken & so I only got bits of his remarks. I can say he was not mistreated nor was he 'talked down to' by the Tigers folks. The Tigers reps were frustrated by his initial 'no comment' approach, and so they did try to explain (several times) the significance of getting the baseball 'officially verified' (or whatever it's called) by the MLB. The man was simply quiet about the whole thing, and he was a little bit camera shy too.

Its the coach

Kids coach has been in his ear about hating Michigan for 3 years (at least). That coach is an incompetent Personality vacuum. If not for this states School-of-Choice situation, the guy would be 4-5 every year. He has success because he recruits 7th & 8th graders. Creepy Jermaine is what we call him.

Thank you!

That coach HATES HATES HATES Michigan. Look where his D1 kids are committing to; to the Schools that also hate Michigan. Belleville is trying to be like the old Detroit King situation. A Sparty loving, Michigan hating staff that actively steers their kids away from Michigan. Fuck that guy. 

Dude

That dude hates Michigan. He could have called the Michigan coach(s), met with them & discussed his concerns.... But instead, he thinks ", hmmmm, how can I use this to hurt Michigan? Ah ! I can send out a tweet for the world to see, & hopefully influence other haters". He is a not so secret SpartyThat hates Michigan. 

Noonan ! There, that ought to

Also 1965 & 1976. I am old. 

 

How.....

I was raised in & near Lansing, & still live in the area now.... I was 8 years old. I was just becomming aware of the differences between "pro" teams & "college" teams, as well differences in college conferences, etc.... I was getting pretty sick & tired of everyone insisting that I choose MSU over Michigan; I guess a person in Lansing isn't allowed to be nuetral in that rivalry ?  I chose Michigan, mostly because I will not be told how I should think..... Also; I noticed a LOT more Hate coming from MSU fans toward Michigan, & I found it unbelievably annoying. I understand there is Hate on both sides. But listen , I live in Lansing, and a person cannot call themseves an MSU fan in Lansing/East Lansing unless they HATE HATE HATE Michigan. It is freaking weird man. And it's real.

Pistons

Pistons from 88', through the 89' & 90' Championships. That was so much fun ! Still burns a bit because they rightfully should have had a three-peat. But 89' & 90' were pretty sweet . 

"D"

I much prefer the version of the "D" on the cap. If that is the "D" they are going to put on the home jersey, then I'm very OK with that .

Agreed.

When my 20 year old was looking into schools in Michigan to transfer into, I told him "if you apply to MSU, I will never pay a penny of that tuition". This was in the Spring of 15' . It was specifically because of the culture & attitude of their Basketball & Football programs. I felt that the "sports is the King" attitude had spread too far into other areas of that school by that point. I've lived in & worked in Lansing my entire life. I have seen it change from a "pretty nice place" into something awful. I think it started when they forced former President John Di Biaggio out-of-office, because he was too focused on the "school" part of that school. That's when the "sports first" crowd began their take-over of MSU.

Who Will ?

Who will 'look the other way' ? SPARTANS WILL . Who will 'Retire' in the wake of the investigation into the biggest sexual predator case IN AMERICAN HISTORY ? SPARTANS WILL.

I remember

I will never forget that Rose Bowl performance .... WOOOOO HOOOO ! Thank you Mr Wheatley :)

I like him, but....

Steratore is actually pretty good. And I love his personality. But that crew did call A LOT of Pass Interference & Defensive Holding penalties on New Orleans..... I wish his crew was assigned to all of the Seahawks games, because they do that more than anyone. 

Tomlin is a great person, &

Tomlin is a great person, & is a good coach.... Never has been a great coach. If you watched this game, you saw some big coaching mistakes by the Steelers. 

 

Wanted JOHN Harbaugh

I wish the timing was better. John H will be available soon, in a year maybe ? 

Joe's teams almost  never

Joe's teams almost  never attack. And after watching Penn State & Ohio State "attack" themselves into multiple individual National titles over the last several seasons, it is a bummer to see Joe's guys "read & react" style.

Michigan gets "out officiated " every week in the BIG. Someone please research this ? The effort will be worth it, so we can see that the data shows it.

Earned my badge

Sept 17, 1989. I was in the 10th row, on the north 35 yard line, on the Michigan teams side. It was raining LIKE CRAZY. The Rocket created a life- long hate for NDinside me that day. So something good did result from that crazy day. 

We were there.

My 11 year old son & I attended that game ! It was his first Michigan football game experience :) .... I remember 3 things: 1) It was very cold & very wet. Not a good combo. 2) I made a point to stay until the very end, despite the weather & the incredibly boring play calling. 3) my son William was thrilled about the entire experience :) .... Thanks for reminding us ! Seriously . 

Stinks

Season 1 was pretty good. The show has gotten worse in each season since that first season. Take a step back. Then re-watch the first 2 seasons in order. You'll see the regression of the writing. Its almost un-watchable now. Also, watch any season of Breaking Bad. Then compare that to this current season of Better Call Sall. You'll notice a huge decrease in the quality of the writing. Its sad.

This is BIG for Michigan

This is BIG for Michigan Baseball ! Coach B will keep Michigan at or near the top of the Big 10. He is a great baseball coach .
